Here I am Rune
Distance 6.7 miles
Total 1197 Locks 68 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1713 miles

Completed the planned distance for the day as far as Chorley. Have also been out to do the weekend shop since the forecast for tomorrow isn’t too good, it may result in us remaining where we are for an extra day. The weather today however has been brilliant, slightly hazy sunshine and warm, shame that the forecast is for it to break tomorrow, particularly for those whose only opportunity to go boating is at weekends when they are off work. The only point of interest today was the fact that we stopped off at Ellerbreck Narrowboats to top up with fuel. We weren’t exactly desperate since we could only get 89 litres in and it hold 160 litres, but it always worthwhile to keep the tank topped up.

Tomorrow’s trip will depend upon the weather, if it is dire we’ll stay where we are but if it’s not too bad we’ll probably move on to the top of Johnson’s Hillock Locks.
